Changing UPN with Powershell

I need to change the UPN on about 200 accounts in our company. I have a CSV file with the old and new UPNs in question. The script I am trying to use is here:   https://gallery.technet.microsoft.co...

    Hi michaels_IT 

     

    Replicated this issue in my lab. Fixed by changing

     

    Set-ADUser -Identity $UserDetails.Name

     

    To this:

     

    Set-ADUser -Identity $UserDetails.SamAccountName

     

    Keep everything else the same. UPN's now changed correctly.

     

    Hope this helps,
